Abstract

The time-dependent rolling contact between an elastic wheel andits support is formulatedas an hyperbolic differential equation on a free domain with Neumann boundary conditions including a non-linear friction law. With the aim to discuss existence and stability of a quasistationary solution, different material descriptions are compared with respect to their influence to the high numerical effort of the discretized system. It has been found that difficulties, e. g. coming from different time-scales, decrease if geometrical stiffness is regarded.
